Category was useful and was emptied without a reason. Now, in Category:Oos River along the Lichtentaler Allee and Category:Lichtentaler Allee the famous bridges are missing, in Category:Bridges over Oos River many categories lack a "street" or similar category. --Sitacuisses (talk) 12:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The category Category: Bridges over Oos River in the Lichtentaler Allee is unnecessary. I emptied it by moving the files to newly created, more specific categories. These new categories contain clear location references in their names and/or documentation. All bridges over the Oos should be presented together in one category in the order of their location from the source to the mouth of the river. -- Gerd Eichmann (talk) 05:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. The list of subcategories in "Buildings in Interlaken" is already quite long and it's easy to oversea one of the sub-categories. Therefore a few questions: Could we add sections to the list instead of sorting it from A-Z: A) Publicly used buildings (museums, postoffices, churches aso.) B) privately used buildings (chalets, villas, barns aso.) C) Industrial+commercial (offices, hotels, cafés, bars etc.) D) Other structures (architectural elements, monuments, fountains etc.).
  2. There is a subcatagory «Buildings in Interlaken by name». Question: would it be possible to add another one: «Buildings in Interlaken by construction» (Chalets, glassbuildings, Stone)? Reason: Most categories relate to the type of use (Privat, business, industrial, touristic). «Chalets in Interlaken» could fit in any of these categories.
  3. Three similar subcategories: "Houses in Interlaken", «Revenue houses in Interlaken» and «Residential houses in Interlaken». I think, one of these categories is enough?

Just an idea. Rectilinium (talk) 02:47, 18 May 2024 (UTC) / Translated Rectilinium (talk) 06:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Yes, you can make intermediate categories. Please see for instance Category:Buildings by function for correct category names.
  2. You may have a category Category:Buildings by material for Interlaken. But please do not mix chalets and materials. And are ALL chalets in Interlaken used for privat, business, industrial and touristic reasons? If not, see Category:Chalets for correct parent categories for the main category; a subcategory for one chalet (or a group of chalets) can have an extra parent, depending on the use of the chalet.
  3. Usually the first one would be enough. You may make a subcategory Category:Vacation homes for Interlaken for the "Revenue houses".
So in general: look at the main category (far up in the category structure/tree) and see what the possibilities are for correct category names. JopkeB (talk) 05:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category claims "Works by Justin bieber" but the uploader of the single picture in the category claims the picture is their own work, meaning the category is wrong. LeeGer (talk) 07:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • In any case if kept it should be capitalized. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The image is clearly miscategorized, as it is attributed to the uploader, and there is no reason to believe it was taken by Justin Bieber. I've recatted it up to Justin Bieber in case it is somehow Bieber-related (maybe the subject is portraying one of his looks) and I'm not Bieber-expert enough to determine it has nothing at all to do with him. The category is now empty and can be speedy deleted. Hopefully one day Mr. Bieber will become a Commons contributor and this can be recreated with legitimate content at that time.

What is the difference between Category:Visitor centres and Category:Information centers? Can both have descriptions showing the differences OR can both be merged (like in EN-WP)? JopkeB (talk) 08:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep both — According to Wikidata, an information center is a "place where information is given out", and a visitor center is a "combination of tourist center and museum directly related to a point of interest or the local area". An information center provides information for tourists/visitors, while a visitor center is a combination of an information center and a museum. For instance, the Government of India Tourist Office in New Delhi is a mere information center, while the Category:Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida is both an information center and a museum. Apologies for providing examples from different hemispheres, but it is clear that "information center" and "visitor center" are not synonymous. Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 08:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Sb1413. So:
JopkeB (talk) 15:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep both. I agree with Sbb1413 that they are distinct. Visitor centres may be a sub-cat of Information centers, but not all information centers are visitor or tourist centers. If FEMA sets up a trailer in the wake of a disaster providing information to citizens about how to get supplies and apply for assistance, that is an information center but I don't think we'd consider it a visitor/tourist center. At the courthouse, there is a small office near the entrance has an "Information" sign and helps folks figure out where the courtroom they need is, or which office they need to go to for the business they have. That might cater to visitors to the building but it doesn't really make sense to call it a visitor center as the courthouse isn't really a touristic place...it is really an information center. Josh (talk) 09:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions and actions

[edit]
  1. Both categories should stay because they are about distinct subjects.
  2. An information center is a place where information is given out to visitors, not necessarily being tourists. Example: visitors of a courthouse.
    1. Libraries, archives and similar institutions are not information centers. Category:Angeles City Library and Information Center‎ should be removed as a subcategory.
    2. Category:Information centers should not be renamed to Category:Tourist centers or Category:Tourist information centres because they are not all for tourists.
  3. A visitor center is a combination of tourist center and a (touristic) place of interest, like a museum.
    1. Visitor centres may be a sub-cat of Information centers.

Actions to be taken:

Overcategorization in Category:Space Jam

[edit]

Huge amount (+100) of metacats created for Space Jam made by an IP user, most of which are empty or only contain one file (Space Jam including all its subcategories has about 20 files in total). This affects other franchises as well (Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse, The Lego Movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby-Doo and Scoob!) for which I made separate CfD's.

All of these should be deleted.

This one is more tricky. At least Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) characters‎ has a lot of subcategories. My advise: delete only the empty ones and the ones with only one or two subcategories. JopkeB (talk) 07:07, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand that category. Many of the subcats are explicitly mentioning a completely different TV show released 30 years ago. What are they even doing here? Trade (talk) 00:34, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And why are Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) a subcategory of Category:Leonardo (2012, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)‎? And Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) cast‎ a subcat of Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series)‎??

Category and all its subcats should be renamed to "Red Eye" to comply with Commons' category naming guidelines (COM:CATNAME). The category also contains an excessive amount of subcategories that should be trimmed extensively, to name one example see Category:RED ƎYE characters by body part and all its subcats. ReneeWrites (talk) 11:09, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ReneeWrites,
The official spelling of our company is "RED ƎYE" (in capital letters) but we had to register it with the spelling "RED 3YE" since the character "Ǝ" is not accepted by the French administration. "RED EYE" is only used for pronunciation but might match other companies. If using capital letters goes against the rules, we are fine with using lowercase instead, but using "3" instead of "Ǝ" is more appropriate than using "E".
In all cases, we will comply with your rules and choices
As for the categories, we based ourselves on general categories to establish an identical scheme, with the desire in mind to be as accurate as possible. We still have files to upload but perhaps should we have published them first and created the categories after. If we have not acted in the right way, please accept our apologies. We remain attentive to your advice.
Anyway, we are stopping our edits for the moment, waiting for all this to be resolved and in order to avoid wasting time if our work has to be deleted.
Thanks for your understanding,
Kind regards,
RED🔴ƎYE (talk) 06:32, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@REDƎYE: I appreciate your reply (both here and in the Village Pump). Having the categories renamed as Red3ye or Red 3ye would be okay too, if that has your preference I'll change that in the original post.
It's generally speaking best practise to upload files first and then diffuse after if the categories get too big, yes. It's also more beneficial to people who are looking for certain files to have short category trees rather than very long ones, so they're able to find what they're looking for more quickly (or if they're looking for something that isn't there, to be able to find that out more quickly as well). I didn't ask for all these categories to be deleted after all, just for them to be trimmed. Trade made a helpful propsal of what that could look like below.
Between this CfD and the deletion discussion that was posted to your page a month ago, I'm sorry if Commons has been a stressful experience for you lately. ReneeWrites (talk) 18:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree with either name. Commons categories are supposed to use generally used titles and names, not whatever stylizing that the company decided to use in marketing Trade (talk) 13:49, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Trade,
What would you suggest?
Kind regards,
RED🔴ƎYE (talk) 03:56, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Red Eye (company) Trade (talk) 12:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Trade,
Thanks for your reply
The problem is that it's not the correct spelling. As we indicated above, we were declared to the French administration under the name Red 3ye Productions (the "3" replacing the unauthorized "Ǝ "). You can check it here, as well as on any other recognized register. If the decision is to call us Red Eye despite everything, we will accept it, but it will cause confusion with other companies bearing this name (the choice of "E"/"3" was precisely made to distinguish us).
Thanks for your understanding,
Kind regards,
RED🔴ƎYE (talk) 03:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi ReneeWrites,
You are welcome
Regarding the name, we just checked on the official records, it would be exactly Red 3ye Productions ([1]).
As for categories, from how many files is it advisable to subcategorize? Thanks to Trade for taking the time to make this proposal.
As for this CfD and the deletion discussion, we understand the process so that's ok, don't mention it

-- ReneeWrites (talk) 07:05, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it isn't clear, but if an image goes into Category:RED ƎYE Pictures banners and Category:Basque-language banners that doesn't mean one needs to create a Category:RED ƎYE Pictures banners in Basque for that file. One just adds it into Category:RED ƎYE Pictures banners and Category:Basque-language banners. Enhancing999 (talk) 12:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Enhancing999: That would be rather foolish of me to do if that was a category I listed and an argument I made, but I haven't, and didn't. Maybe before you start being incredibly condescending to other Commons users, make sure you're actually replying to something they said, and not something you just made up. Preferably though you keep that attitude to yourself and just reply like a normal person instead, even if I did make a mistake. ReneeWrites (talk) 14:00, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you have an objection to the categories I listed specifically, please do so, but you can do so in a polite manner. ReneeWrites (talk) 14:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I should have started with TLD. It's an observation on the subcategories created (not by you), not something you wrote (or "Trade" did, for some reason their name is the default edit summary).
Clearly it does seem what happened if one goes through ca. 60 categories with 1 file each. Possibly the same with all others. Enhancing999 (talk) 14:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing this, but we should still should answer the creators question: "As for categories, from how many files is it advisable to subcategorize? " [2]. Otherwise we will end up with the same again. Personally, I think my comment answers it [3]. Enhancing999 (talk) 06:37, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just for the record: in How many files and/or subcategories should a Commons category at least have? the conclusion after a long discussion was that there is no agreement about the minimum number of files in a (sub-)category. So to me it seems useless to start that discussion all over again. --JopkeB (talk) 04:30, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's the general question, but for this specific field and user (and its imitator(s)), I think we can provide some guidance (which I think I did). We need to keep this sane for users. (BTW, I do appreciate the cleanup done here). Enhancing999 (talk) 08:48, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is currently a dab pointing to different types of football. While I agree that the term "football" is ambiguous globally, it does not mean that we cannot use this term as a container for all types of football. Because of the current situation of this category, categories like Football organizations and Football by location have remained as "orphan" categories without any connection to the parent topic.

What is the difference between Category:Cucumis sativus by country and Category:Cucumbers by country‎? Can these two categories be merged? (The last one to stay because that is more clear for me and I guess for a lot of other people.) JopkeB (talk) 15:05, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My best understanding is that Cucumis sativus is the plant as a whole and 'cucumber' is the fruit of the plant. I'm very confused as to exactly where the scientific name for a species is used and where the common name for it is used. However, what is definitely not correct is using both as is done in several of the sub-cats of this one. Josh (talk) 08:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Joshbaumgartner: So in principle these two categories are about two different things and should both stay.
Am I right? JopkeB (talk) 14:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JopkeB I would agree with that. I've kind of skirted species categorization questions so far as it seems kind of its own community and biology was my least preferred science class so I feel under-equipped to discuss scientific categorization there. However, what you are saying makes sense, so unless someone from that community wants to correct us, I would be fine with your plan. Thanks, Josh (talk) 16:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

20 photographs out of 48 total photographs do no contain Lloyd Austin. The category would be more accurately named "United States Indo-Pacific change of command, Hawaii (May 2024)" Also, the only categorization is related to Lloyd Austin, not a location and specific date of this one day event.

Suggest that these be moved to the already-existing category, 2024 United States Indo-Pacific Command change of command. SuperWIKI (talk) 07:35, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, @SuperWIKI. Thanks, -- Ooligan (talk) 06:54, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does this category have potential to be populated? Cc. @Minerva97 and Billinghurst: , who seem to disagree. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:58, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Minerva97: I don't know. When I created it, many years ago, it contained this photo which @Joofjoof: nominated for deletion in spite of being substantially a PD photo. In this case there's no need to discuss, report the empty category to an admin for the deletion. -- Blackcat 17:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete As I said, this person passed away 18 years ago. If the category wasn't populated yet, it won't be populated too soon. So , in my opinion, it should be deleted. If, at any point, an image appears under a free license that is uploaded to the project, simply recreate the category. Minerva97 (talk) 17:22, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment @Mdaniels5757: please don't misquote me. The speedy deletion criteria is "[if] a category is empty and is obviously unusable, unlikely to be ever meaningfully used", and as such a WD attached category is less likely to meet the criteria for speedy deletion. This deletion process is what I pointed the user to use if they felt that a deletion was necessary. I have no specific knowledge nor attachment to the category. I will note that I also don't typically see much point in hastening these linked categories to death as it doesn't particularly serve a functional purpose and any re-creation also requires a relinking at WD, and recategorisation, so it is more than "simply recreate" [all of which is not a long conversation for here.]  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:08, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Deleted, empty category, no sign of being populated soon. If at some future time we have media relevant to the topic, no objection to restoration. Not useful at present. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 01:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete As I said, this person passed away 16 years ago. If the category wasn't populated yet, it won't be populated too soon. So , in my opinion, it should be deleted.

Deleted, empty cat. (No prejudging recreation if at some future time we have useful free licensed media.) -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 01:10, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
